Yesterday on TV I watched some very intelligent people mocking other people, who were not present to defend themselves, for the same weakness of the humanity which they themselves were displaying by their very mockery.

No living human should be sure that the material reality in which we all live is absolutely the  limits of being. Even though the secrets of the material world are today made manifest by science it is plain stupidity to deny that at the moment of death even though it seems that the "bodily time" of each one of us ends no-one can be certain until that moment arrives for him or her.

"Feet of Clay" tells us all that we need to know about our human kingdoms, knowledge, wealth and power. The writers of Daniel were not the only humans to know this. But there is something greater than Daniel, Plato, Buddha, Confucius or even Moses here with us even now.

During his life on earth the Son of God confronted the "learned and the clever" but he never mocked them. He himself was mocked on the Cross. They spat at him but he bled for them, They derided him but he loved them. The events of two thousand years ago are still being repeated as I write this.

I have always known that I am a sinful being but I have to thank God that I have not become my own idol. My "Feet of Clay" is not sinfulness but the actual "image and likeness" which has to always know that "There is something greater here", but too often fails.

" The greater" is not an unknown "Other" but the eternal presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT who saves us from the unimaginable pain of knowing lovelessness  by his revelation of TOTALLOVE. I hope and pray that there is no-one who has ever lived who has not known at least a few seconds of either being loved or of loving another.

"Faith in the love that lives in the heart" is the only proof that I can have of my belief that this life in time is not the totality of my being. In today's Gospel Jesus is preparing his disciples for the event that will change the Created Universe for ever. He promises that for them and for us, their future, there is nothing to fear. "You will be hated by all for my name's sake. But not a hair of your head will perish"

Today he promises but soon after he was to confirm by the words of eternal love uttered in real-time using his dying breath. "Woman behold your Son. Son behold your Mother" shortly followed by "It is finished" thus finalizing the Revelation that we have still never lived up to.

It is only by each one choosing to live in the gift of Calvary, New Holy Family , the Body of Christ, the Church of Love that we can make a world that is as it was created to be by Our Father, and thus a World that is able to welcome the Second Coming of Christ our Saviour.

Maranatha Lord. Come Lord Jesus. Please come soon. Amen
